[hunni12]

I havent got af but i think im the last one in the july thread and i felt lonely

 

[sweetbliss89]

canada - good luck! let us know before you leave and have a great trip!

snufkin - GL! FX for you!

smiley - so sorry August is a new month though so don't give up! FX for you this month.

hunni - welcome! when will you be testing?


AFM - temp spiked this morning! 2 more days of high temps and I'll get my cross hairs. If I did O yesterday then it was CD 12 and a few days early so I'm glad we did BD on CD 11. Will still stick with our plan though until I get the cross hairs.

 

[CarlyP]

Hello

Can I please join you?

I am 7DPO even though my ticker says 6

Going to try and hold out on POAS but doubtful

Not really noticed any symptoms apart from hay fever the past 3 nights (runny nose, eyes watering, sneezing) and I don't suffer from hay fever so this is all new for me.

Good luck to everyone xx

 

[hunni12]

Hey bliss not too sure when i will be testing to be honest lol

 

[Mintastic]

I am coming over from the July thread. AF unexpectedly got me quite early (6-7dpo) yesterday.
Going to start temping this cycle and taking vitex. Just need a thermometer.

Too much to catch up on everyone's August progress so far but I hope everyone is well.
I might be testing on the 27th but with wonky cycles who knows?!
Fx for you hunni!

 

[hunni12]

I know you do not supposed to go by cp, but my cervix is high and soft and has white creamy on it. Good sign or bad?

 

[bluefish1980]

Sorry Hunni, I don't check my cervix. Wouldn't even know how! Hopefully some others can help.

 

[Cheekygringo]

Hunni, I understand that the cervix being hard, soft or open can indicate different times, but the actual position will move about all through the day, and isn't a reliable indication.

 

[Eidson23]

Not testing! Just here for support and

CD2, 2nd PPAF. LP went from 5 days last cycle to 9 this cycle. Hoping it's long enough this current cycle. I got a vvv faint line at 9 DPO, and then slightly darker at 10 DPO, and then AF came later that day. Quite gutted. Thinking of trying Soy this cycle, as I didn't O until CD32. Has anyone tried it? I dreamt that we were having month of May twins, so here's hoping it was more premonition than dream.

 

[mwah_xx]

mwah- glad you had a nice vacation It's always nice to have some no-pressure BD. Hope your cycles regulate soon- we're both in the same boat

Thanks! Hopefully yours start to regulate too, this is driving me crazy!!

 

[bluefish1980]

Hunni did Soy this month dove - how have you found Hunni? And how did you take it? (Amount / days etc)

 

[macydarling]

Welcome to all the new ladies and hope everything is going great for the other lovely ladies. Congrats Eidson!!!!

I realized I am CD 19 today already?! How did that happen?!? Sorry I have not been following this thread as obsessively as usual but I feel like taking a step back has definitely helped my mental health this cycle...FX for everyone!!!!

 

[caringo]

Hey ladies...I guess I should finally join think I'm one of the only ones still hanging around in the July thread!

CD 50 for me today...hopefully within the next week I will get AF, as I'm getting brown spotting (which I never get until after AF, so little confused) but if not I will be going to the DRs finally. But hopefully will still be testing sometime in August!

 

[canadabear]

for me ladies so officially joining you all! AF got me 2hours after testing so will not be testing early this cycle. I'm going to say some time around 30th.
Will keep temping as was really helpful and thinking of trying vitex as well...but will need to start that asap as will take a while to get through my system. Feeling a bit down but trying to stay positive. May also try using opks but don't want to stress myself out too much. Do they confirm ovulation?

 

[dove830]

They don't. Only temping confirms....or an ultrasound, lol. Opk's tell you that your body is gearing up to o.

 

[Cheekygringo]

Well, unless a miracle happens, I don't think I have much of a chance this month..
Good luck to everyone!

 

[macydarling]

So sorry Canada And I hope you are wrong Cheeky! Still holding out hope for you Caringo!!!

This thread has really taken off! It's hard to keep up!!! I had some pinches on and off yesterday throughout the day in my lower abdomen under my rib cage. Not sure what body part is even located there but Im not reading too much into it!

Let me just whine a little bit that I reallllllly am not feeling work today. I feel like Im still tired out from being sick all last week and then having to work the weekend. Booooo. O done complaining now

 

[Snufkin]

Well I'm hopeful that this may be it for us...I know it's only our first cycle trying, but yesterday (5dpo) I had a lot of period type cramping and my jeans were sooo uncomfortable. I don't think it's like that for everyone, so don't worry if you don't get that really early feeling of "big uterus", but it was exactly how I felt with my first, except I don't remember what time (it was before I missed my period, but we weren't exactly trying and my cycle was a bit messed up that month I think, so no idea how many dpo I started feeling it.) I still have some light cramping today and the uncomfortable feeling in my abdomen is still there, so we'll see. I'm just worried that if I'm wrong I'll be so disappointed and I'll not be able to trust my body anymore I think. But I'm sure you all know these feelings all too well!

What do you all do to keep yourselves from going insane? I've only got 6 days until testing, but I kind of want to just take one now (I may have done one yesterday...5dpo...mad.)

Is anyone else planning on testing sunday?
